How to get flare almost fast and have excellent build for throwing flare on 3rd hex at any condition, even if there's no NPC/player, so you can throw flares on unlootable hexes and noone (except for evil GMs) can remove them and they will glow forever:
1st create a character:
With 1 ST you won't throw flare on more than 3 hexes, so if you'll throw in Sha Enin with 5% to hit, it doesn't matter if you will miss or hit if Sha Enin will be on 3rd hex from you.
Then... spawn in VC:
Then delete your character, because it'll take ages to go to NCR from VC. And create another character:
Spawn near NCR!
Then go to NCR and enter it in that point:
Then get a quest:
Then suicidal punch someone (better guard, I once punched some player who was standing there and crazy guards bursted everyone and made quest giver lie with negative HP, what isn't good):
You'll appear there, as you can see, it saves you a time, because you don't need to run back to exit grid through whole NCR and then it's less to walk from respawn point to quest location:
Then go to quest location and you'll find a flare there:
Then return to NCR, your 10 INT and END gives you 60% OD if it's tagged, it gives you really low chance of avoiding encounters, but still it's max possible on 1st level, so you may encounter some marauders, so it's better to doc+fa yourself after "teleport", so you'll have a chance to stay alive if you'll spawn near them, once those 36 HP saved me 1 flare, when marauder didn't burst me but single shot and didn't killed.
Then throw this holy flare in his face to make him bright and cause performance problems on weak machines making those players suffer when they have Sha Enin in thier FoV so noone will trade with this trader-murderer who was killing poor bombers only because they accidentally exploded near him once, ok twice, or more, doesn't matter, anyway each flare making Sha Enin glow more and more and more, also almost each flare drops FPS a bit, so if there will be alot flares, some PCs will freeze when Sha Enin will be in thier FoV! Easy!
